Under the weather...

To your right is a picture of happier times, from about a month ago. I was just eating, traveling with friends and learning how to relax properly. (You know. Making the best of what I have and not necessarily wanting the best of everything. It's a new concept I've been working on executing in everyday life.) Abbey, my childhood friend took this picture of me at some over priced restaurant we ate at on the San Antonio Riverwalk. I had seared scallops in chipotle/clam broth me thinks...have I told you, I've been on the biggest scallop trip ever!?!?! I can't seem to satisfy this insatiable appetite for them. Why try? I'm not fighting it any longer. I just constantly order them like an 80 year old woman who refuses to try anything else on the menu. EXCEPT, wherever I go, they usually are made different ways. That sort of helps my pallet not look so tragically mundane.

Anyway, cut to today. My throat is sore like I'd been singing all night at a Snoop concert, only that was weeks ago. My body feels heavy like I ate a large plate of red jello. My upbeat tempo has turned a little sloth-like and I'm not liking it at all! I've been trying to mentally erect myself back into better health with a little help from some Vitamin C, Chicken Noodle Soup and Soy Chai Lattes. It hasn't been working though =( In fact last night, I cheated on myself. I had friends over for brie, crackers, orzo and beef filets and red wine. Not good. It's not like I'm on the verge of croaking or anything. My voice isn't terrible sounding, it just really hurts....esp. in the morning. I try to work out, but my energy level is nil. Ah and I'm in dire need of a facial.

Luckily, I'm not a complainer! Nope, not I. I have a lot to look forward. Such as way more traveling. Where? Soon I'll be off to Greece(Santorini, Lagonissi and possibly Mykonos), Paris and hopefully Madrid. I doubt a month will be long enough and I'm praying I don't just decide to up and move there. It's so tempting. I swear I was born in the wrong country. Well, I'm going to get some acai berry yogurt and attempt a run, then definitely rest.

Safe travels and happy eating!
